Hi,
Upstream of perl-Module-Signature has relicensed it from MIT to Creative
Commons CC0 1.0 Universal. Since the "good licenses for software" list
on the wiki doesn't explicitly mention CC0 I thought I'd ask here if
it's OK to tag such as package as "Public Domain" or should there be a
separate entry in the list for CC0?

Please Cc: me on any replies as I'm not subscribed to fedora-legal-list.
It probably merits a separate entry, because it is a rather thorough
public domain declaration. Use:
License: CC0
I've added it to the Good list for software and content (its good for
anything, really, but it is most likely to be used in those areas). It
is Free and GPL Compatible.
